[time-nuts] Posting style Was: looking for gooddescription/generalized model for time adjustments

[Didier Juges]

One more reason:

Most web-based forums are a pain on smart phones, compared to email, unless
they have smart-phone specific interface. Very few of the free stuff does.

Heck, even this 1024x768 laptop can hardly deal with the amount of screen
space used for advertisements on most web sites nowadays.
